On certain transit buses, hydraulic lines in the engine compartment may fail. This could introduce high pressure hydraulic fluid spray into the engine compartment, which could ignite, resulting in a vehicle fire. Hydraulic fluid leak may also result in a sudden loss of steering power assist. Loss of power assist function could result in a vehicle crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the hydraulic lines.
